mortality/aging
• mice succumb to highly aggressive T cell malignancy with a median lifespan of 169 days

endocrine/exocrine glands
• the cellularity of the thymus is decreased, with decreased thymocyte numbers
• 90% of mice develop hematologic malignancy
• most tumors are aggressive T cell lymphomas or leukemias which become disseminated to the spleen
• lymphomas contain whole chromosome 15 duplications

hematopoietic system
• 90% of mice develop hematologic malignancy
• most tumors are aggressive T cell lymphomas or leukemias which become disseminated to the spleen
• lymphomas contain whole chromosome 15 duplications
• pro-B cells (CD43+) are increased
• hematopoiesis is severely impaired
• the cellularity of the bone marrow is decreased
• 2-fold elevation in platelets
• white blood cell counts are reduced in 6-to 8-week-old mice
• the percentage of peripheral B cells is decreased
• percentage of B lineage cells (B220+) is decreased by roughly 3-fold
• depletion of B cell lineage cells coincides with the onset of Ig gene assembly: whereas pro-B cells (CD43+) are increased, the levels of B220+ cell decrease beginning at the pre-B stage when Ig heavy chain rearrangement commences to the immature B cell stage (CD43-)
• IgM+ mature B cells are virtually undetectable
• percentage of myeloid cells (Mac-1+ and Gr-1+) is decreased by roughly 3-fold
• however, levels of erythroid precursors (Ter119+) are unchanged
• red blood cell numbers are reduced in 6-to 8-week-old mice
• an increase in copy number of the MRE11 and CHK1 genes on chromosome 9 is detected in thymocytes as early as 4 weeks of age
• MYC amplification on chromosome 15 is detected in thymocytes at 4 weeks of age
• CD8+ population is elevated in the thymus at 6 weeks of age
• the percentage of peripheral T cells is decreased
• the cellularity of the thymus is decreased, with decreased thymocyte numbers

immune system
• 90% of mice develop hematologic malignancy
• most tumors are aggressive T cell lymphomas or leukemias which become disseminated to the spleen
• lymphomas contain whole chromosome 15 duplications
• pro-B cells (CD43+) are increased
• white blood cell counts are reduced in 6-to 8-week-old mice
• the percentage of peripheral B cells is decreased

• the percentage of peripheral T cells is decreased
• the cellularity of the thymus is decreased, with decreased thymocyte numbers

neoplasm
• 90% of mice develop hematologic malignancy
• most tumors are aggressive T cell lymphomas or leukemias which become disseminated to the spleen
• lymphomas contain whole chromosome 15 duplications
• leukemias contain activating mutation of NOTCH1
• 90% of mice develop hematologic malignancy
• most tumors are aggressive T cell lymphomas or leukemias which become disseminated to the spleen
• tumors show the presence of multiple broad DNA copy number gains and losses, with recurrent copy number variation on chromosomes 9 and 15 and overexpression of MRE11 and CHK1
